			The entity responsible in the context of data protection laws, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is:

			<pre>
			FeministWiki gemeinnützige UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
			Richard-Wagner-Str. 25
			DE-35321 Laubach

			District court Giessen, HRB 10100

			Legal correspondent: Taylan Ulrich Kammer

			Email: info@feministwiki.org
			</pre>

			=== Your rights as a data subject ===

			You can exercise the following rights at any time using the contact details of our data protection officer:

			* Information about your data stored by us and their processing (Art. 15 GDPR),
			* Correction of incorrect personal data (Art. 16 GDPR),
			* Deletion of your data stored by us (Art. 17 GDPR),
			* Restriction of data processing if we are not yet allowed to delete your data due to legal obligations (Art. 18 GDPR),
			* Objection to the processing of your data by us (Art. 21 GDPR) and
			* Data portability, provided you have consented to the data processing or have concluded a contract with us (Art. 20 GDPR).

			If you have given us your consent, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future.

			You can contact a supervisory authority with a complaint at any time, e.g. to the responsible supervisory authority of the federal state of your place of residence or to the authority responsible for us as the responsible body.

			A list of the supervisory authorities (for the non-public area) with addresses can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

			=== Changes to our privacy policy ===

			We reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration will then apply to your next visit.

			=== Embedded content from other websites ===

			Articles on this website may refer to other content (links).

			These websites can collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking services from third parties and your interaction with the embedded content, if you have an account and are logged in to this website.

			=== Liability for content ===

			The articles that can be called up on the website are for general information only and not for advice in specific cases. We endeavor to ensure that all information and data contained on the website are correct and up to date in accordance with Section 7 (1) of the German Telemedia Act. For the correctness, completeness, up-to-dateness or quality of the information and data provided, no guarantee is given according to Sections 8 to 10 of the Act. Liability for the content of the information that can be accessed is excluded unless it is intentional or grossly negligent incorrect information. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. Liability in this regard is only possible from the point in time at which we become aware of a specific legal violation. As soon as we become aware of such legal violations, we will remove this content immediately.

			=== Liability for links ===

			We are not responsible for the content of websites that can be reached via a hyperlink. The operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for their content. We expressly do not adopt the content of these Internet pages as our own and can therefore not guarantee the correctness, completeness and availability of the content. When the link was first established, we checked the third-party content to see whether it might trigger civil or criminal liability. However, we are not obliged to constantly check the content to which we refer in our offer for changes that could give rise to new responsibility. Only if we discover or are informed by others that a specific offer to which we have provided a link triggers civil or criminal liability, we will remove the reference to this offer, insofar as this is technically possible and reasonable for us.

			=== Copyright ===

			The content and works on this website created by the operator of this website are subject to German copyright law. All contributions from third parties are marked as such. The duplication, processing, distribution and any kind of exploitation outside the limits of copyright require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Copies of these pages are only permitted for private use, but not for commercial purposes.

			=== Data protection ===

			As a rule, our website can be used without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or email address) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

			In connection with your access, data is temporarily stored in our server for the purpose of data security, which may allow identification (website visited, time of access, amount of data sent in bytes, source / reference from which you came to the page, browser used, operating system used, visible IP address). The data collected are only used for statistical evaluations. However, we reserve the right to check server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use. An evaluation, with the exception of statistical purposes in anonymous form, does not take place.

			= In lay terms =

			This section does not constitute a legal privacy policy. This is an honest summary of everything you might want to know about the FeministWiki and privacy, explained in lay terms instead of legalese.

	Data stored by the FeministWiki could be split in two categories: data stored about your account, and data generated by your usage of FeministWiki services like opening pages, editing pages, using the chat system, or uploading files.

	All individual edits made to the wiki (including talk pages and other types of special pages) are permanently recorded, with the username of the editor and the date and time of the edit.

This recording of all edits helps to resolve issues with vandalism by malicious editors.

Absolutely '''every''' web page of the FeministWiki that you visit (including forum, blogs, the on-site chat or email clients, etc.) generate an "access log" entry on the web server which contains your IP address, time of access, and optional information sent by your web browser.

This helps with alleviating abuse of the website and searching for technical problems when for instance someone is getting error messages when trying to open pages.

			Usually, your IP address cannot be traced back to your real identity, although it reveals the location of your internet service provider and therefore possibly an approximate geographic location. If this is an issue for you, please look into software such as the Tor Project or other ways to hide your IP address from websites you visit.

			The FeministWiki will absolutely never reveal the contents of the access logs to anyone.
